Small Eco-houses Taschen This books presents a selection of small eco-houses: considered architectural anomalies for some time, these houses have laid the foundation for tomorrow' s construction. Lots of color photos. There are numerous examples of how pleasant ecological houses can be from an architectural viewpoint, and the variety of ecological materials now available allows architects to select their own approach. The emergence of a greater awareness of the environment, the application of new technical knowledge, and the use of traditional construction methods such as orientation towards the sun, are motivating a growing number of owners to have ecological houses built on a small scale. These small eco-houses are a first step towards a culture of sustainable and responsible construction, based on the use of natural materials which save energy and contain environmental contamination, but also on the creation of small oases that offer a high quality of life.740 руб

Solar and Pellet Heating Systems. - Reduced Electricity Usage in Single-family Houses Книга по Требованию Tomas P. The present book is based on the author' s doctoral thesis written at KTH, the Royal institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden and investigates how electrically heated single-family houses can be converted to pellet and solar heating systems. There is a strong focus on system design and how to design and operate the systems so that the annual system efficiency and solar gains can be maximized. Technologies for increasing the solar gains are DHW- units for hot water production and the use of hot water for heating of dishwashers and washing machines via a heat exchanger instead of electricity (heat-fed appliances. The possible reduction of CO- emissions by combining pellet heating with solar heating are also investigated. The method is based on measurements modeling and system simulations using the dynamic simulation program TRNSYS. Pellet heating systems for single-family houses are currently a strongly growing market; however pellet heating is seldom installed together with solar heating, though it is a promising combination.2416 руб
